Household Hint

Never soak blankets before washing. Dirt can be removed by careful washing in heavy, lively soap suds. Agitate as little as possible, and follow with a thorough rinse.

Washers and dryers were still luxury items back then. About 60% of wired homes had them in the 1940s. And, not to state the obvious, new hot water heaters were in high demand.
